Meaning
Underwear is a close-fitting, boudoir thing worn inside. The original meaning of "indecent" is "close-fitting underwear", which contains ingredients that do not carry heavy weight. In fact, we can also know that ancient women's clothes were more concealed, not as open as they are now. Trivia Let me tell you a cold knowledge. In the pre-Qin period, women did not wear underwear or underwear. In the Shang Dynasty, there were only clothes but no clothes. The word clothes first appeared in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. In fact, the judges may have always misunderstood these two words. The ancients said "clothes" meant a full set of outer garments. The upper body outer garments were called "clothes" and the lower body outer garments were called "shangs." In contrast, the underwear worn by ancient women was only a top, and the "shang" on the lower part of the body had no crotch and bottom, and no panties.
To put it simply, ancient women's clothes were divided into only two layers, the inner layer was underwear, and the outer layer was coat (that is, today's jacket). Then let's first take a look at the categories of this layer of underwear: Before the Han Dynasty, people had not formed real underwear. There were two reasons. One was the underdeveloped productivity and the extremely low output of silk fabrics. Although it used to be a small-scale peasant economy, men farming and women weaving. People can only tribute all their products to survive; another reason is the low status of women, as well as the low labor time and labor intensity required by women. From this, we can also find that the abdomen-heart clothes-crotch pants-inner middle-wipe belly-tube top-breasted skirt-bellyband-small vest-vest, are more and more lightweight, More and more fit, in order to improve women's productivity. After reading the center, let's take a look at the dry goods:

After the reunification, the whole country began to cultivate its body to consolidate the government and develop the economy. After the reign of Wenjing, the economy and culture began to transform, and the dressing was also improved. At this time, the underwear was mostly made of plain weave silk technology. There are many exquisite patterns embroidered on the clothes, but most of the patterns are based on love stories. It can be seen that the pursuit of underwear by the ancients at that time has begun to diversify and stylize. They mostly adopted the method of back-line, with no back piece on the back, so as to show more beauty. At this time, the underwear is divided into two types: belly-holding and heart-fitting. You can also change the way of wearing each other, which will kill two birds with one stone.
